AI assistant for clinicians that combines ambient conversation capture, clinical documentation and voice-driven EHR/order workflows into one product.
Evaluation, production monitoring and distributed tracing for generative-AI applications, billed by consumption per the Foundry observability pricing page.
No counterpart
Decart sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Microsoft yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Infrastructure service
The Decart Optimization Stack (DOS) is Decart's inference and training optimization infrastructure, spanning hardware-aware model design, kernel tooling, proprietary compilers and inference optimization. It is sold to hardware providers and AI teams as engagements covering benchmark optimization, customer-defined kernel and compiler work, cross-workload efficiency gains, and profiler and simulator licensing, and is marketed as hardware-agnostic across GPUs, TPUs, Trainium and AMD accelerators.
Model API
Cogito is Decart's OpenAI-compatible LLM inference API, serving frontier open-weight models including Kimi K2.6, Kimi K2.7 Code, GLM-5.2, Qwen3 235B and GPT-OSS 120B across Trainium, TPU and GPU capacity. A self-serve Standard tier is billed per token, while an ultra-fast reserved tier advertises 1,000+ tokens per second. It is built on Decart's own DOS optimization stack.
